But today, thinking about San'er's health, Old Lady Hua still went into the shop: "Shopkeeper, what are the prices of your oysters and sea cucumbers?"

"Oysters are priced based on their size. The largest one is as long as a child's arm and costs 100 wen. Sea cucumbers are all dried goods and cost anywhere from 100 wen to 500 wen each."

"What the hell?"

She had eaten these two things before but had never bought them herself. It turned out that they were brought home by her granddaughter and her family from Zhigu. She didn't expect them to be so expensive.

The old lady thought to herself, "If I wasn't in urgent need of it, do you think I would come to your house? You really dare to ask for it. How many ordinary people can afford it at this price?"

Of course, if her little granddaughter wasn’t such a big eater and all the dried seafood she had bought earlier was not used up, she wouldn’t have come out to buy.

But then again, the effect is really good. Even the old man said that his hands and feet are not so cold when he sleeps at night after eating sea cucumbers.

Fresh oysters were also brought in, and my granddaughter even said it was like a beauty salon for women and a gas station for men.

Although I didn’t understand it, I know it can nourish the kidneys.

My little granddaughter is also a good eater. She steams, roasts, stir-fries, and even makes soups. She eats them all. Now she remembers that it is useful, but it is gone at home.

Now when I asked the price, I realized it was so expensive.

The old lady felt a little regretful. Even if the fresh oysters could not be preserved, the dried sea cucumbers could!

But we dare not say anything. San'er and his wife are famous in the village for spoiling their children. Besides, it was her granddaughter who ate it, so it was just like that.

The shop owner glanced at the old lady and thought she looked familiar, like the shop owner across the street.

Since you dare to ask the price, you must be a connoisseur:

"We are two families facing each other, and I can't cheat you. Look at how big my oysters are. Besides, it's not winter now, so it takes a lot of manpower and resources to transport them here.

But ma'am, I have to tell you the truth. As the weather gets hotter, the price of fresh seafood will only go up, not down.

Besides, your business is booming, so you can afford the money, right?"

Old Lady Hua's eyes sparkled. "Then give it a discount. This thing of yours can be eaten or not. If you don't give me a discount, I can buy some mutton and eat it just the same."

The two sides were bargaining with each other when someone came down from upstairs:

"Madam, our boss said that the largest oysters will be sold to you for fifty cents each, and sea cucumbers will be sold at half price. Our two houses are next door to each other, so please take care of us in the future."

The old lady felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

She shouldn't be that proud, right?

Although she couldn't figure it out, the old lady thought that the seafood shop opposite really benefited from their supermarket. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the bargain. It wasn't like she didn't pay.

After all this, the old lady chose ten oysters, thirty of which originally cost two hundred wen, and some sea cucumbers which cost one hundred wen after the discount, and left happily.

But what she didn't know was that the shopkeeper behind her said to the person who passed the message: "Is this the young master's order?"

The servant who delivered the message nodded:

"Yes, from now on, when the old ladies across the street come over, give them half price. You should also pay attention to it. Once you see the person in the portrait in the supermarket, send someone to inform the young master in the other courtyard."

The owner of the seafood shop's eyes flickered, and he remembered the previous portrait. Although it looked like she was wearing men's clothes, she looked shy, so she should be a woman. Then...

"Okay, Master Mo, don't worry. I will send someone to inform you as soon as I see me."

After one stick of incense,

In the house opposite Shen Zhiqiu's house in Shuntian Prefecture.

The person who was just called Master Mo replied to Huo Shiyuan who was lying under the crabapple tree:

"Master, the old lady who owns the supermarket across the street just now came to our store to buy seafood. I asked the shopkeeper to charge her half the price."

Huo Shiyuan slowly opened his eyes: "The shopkeeper's old lady? Is she Erya's grandmother?"

That's right. This guy had come to Shuntian Prefecture for some time and had already inquired about the affairs of the Nine Clans inside and out. He even knew Shen Erya's nickname and full name.

I also know the guy who went on a blind date with Erya a while ago. When he heard that the two of them might have a chance, he even thought about breaking the guy's arms and legs.

As a result, when they met for the second time, the Shen family rejected them.

As for why he came to Kyoto so early and never showed up in Tangjia Village, although he was usually carefree, he also knew to pay attention to the reputation of the girl he truly liked.

What's more, the Shen family is not something he can take by force.

But there are some things that he understands, but the servant Mo Chuan doesn't understand: "Master, I heard that Miss Shen's uncle has resigned from his official position, why didn't he choose this time to propose marriage?"

"So what if I resign? Just based on that person's relationship with several important officials in the court, if the marriage proposal fails, can I still snatch the bride away?

Besides, no matter how unruly I am, I will never force myself on a girl I like."

As he slowly closed his eyes again, the image of Shen Erya in men's clothing appeared in his mind, and he thought, "Erya, Miaomiao, it's okay, I have plenty of time."

At the same time, in the courtyard of Shen Zhiqiu's house, Shen Erya was applying the facial mask that Shen Youyou had just prepared: "A-choo!"

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

"No, the weather is getting warmer, where can I go to catch a cold?"

Shen Youyou still took the second sister's hand and felt her pulse. She did not catch a cold, but she still reminded her:

"You have to be careful not to kick off the quilt when you sleep at night. It's still a bit cold at night."

After saying this, he saw his father pinching the Qingming acupoint, pinching for a while, looking at a book for a while, and then closing his eyes, as if he was reading silently.

Shen Youyou said to his father's study: "Ahem!"

His father hurriedly sat up straight, then sat forward with a dignified posture, and continued to flip through the book.

Now Old Shen has developed a conditioned reflex.

Shen Erya also saw Third Uncle's actions and couldn't help laughing.

She whispered to Shen Youyou: "Sister, please relax a little. I think it's not easy for Third Uncle either."

All right, she calculated that it was about time, and after washing her face with her second sister, she said loudly to the kitchen:

"Mom, my second sister and I are going to the workshop to deliver the forms for the next few days and play with my sisters for a while. We will have lunch in the cafeteria. You don't have to wait for me."

"Oh, all right! Go ahead!"

As soon as Shen Youyou and Shen Erya left, Shen Zhiqiu immediately threw away the book, turned around and lay down on the kang. Taking advantage of the fact that he was alone in the room and no one could see him, he angrily threw his slippers far away.

As a result, Li Jingshu came in and saw it, and was helpless: "Is your daughter that scary?"

Shen Zhiqiu felt very aggrieved when hearing this, and he lay on the kang with his arms and legs spread out:

"Your daughter is so cunning, it's like she has eyes on the back of her head. She can tell if I'm distracted even if I'm facing away. She even coughs. Who did she learn this habit from?"

"Hehehehe!"

There was no way. Out of politeness, Li Jingshu would usually hold it back and only laugh out loud when he really couldn't hold it back anymore.

But no matter how hard she tried to hold it back, since Lao Shen started studying at home, she could laugh to the point of tears many times. It was so funny.

If she were to tell her, it was because she didn't study hard in her previous life and sat in the last row, she would just be naughty and play with a piece of dogtail grass for a long time.

I have made up for it all this time. It's really a last resort when you reach middle age, you have to hold books and study hard.
